discussion Airbrush Lube

[Bortig the Viking]

I'm looking for advice, now getting into airbrushing I sometimes find even after a good clean the trigger sometimes gets sticky. Would lube help or does anyone have any other suggestions.

Hi Mark
I use THIS A smear along the needle and a drop in the trigger and on the threads seems to work fine. Some people use WD40 or Vaseline but I use the proper stuff,
Jim

Thanks for your reply funnily enough I was looking at getting some with my next order.

I use the same stuff as Jim - you only need to use a tiny amount so a tube will last for years

Thanks again.

I also use it, very small blob on a bit of kitchen roll and draw the needle through the blob.

It rhymes, blob Bob the stug, lol.

On a more serious note, I was looking the other day at some photos I have, very few unfortunately, of the Stug in my grandfather's division during the war, he like many other didn't survive. It's quite a piece of tank history.

I'm sure every one would be interested in seeing them, If you wouldn't mind sharing them .
Like Jim ,Bob and Simon I use the lube, so much better after it is applied. Think the tube will last for some time as you only need a smear.

Thanks for your input, some pictures might not be to everybody's taste, he was in the 5th SS Panzer Division Wiking.
